背景/目的：改善患者的心肺功能是心脏康复的重要治疗结果。心脏康复可以降低死亡率和发病率的能力已经通过几个荟萃分析得到了证明。心脏康复是否能提高心肺功能，以及哪些因素可能影响心肺功能的提高，目前还没有得到很好的量化。方法：我们对电子数据库进行了详细的文献检索，并手工检索了有关心脏康复患者心肺功能变化的文献。结果：来自31项研究的数据产生了48组(n=3827)，平均改善1.55(95%可信区间1.21-1.89)METS，(p
Background/objectives: Improving patients' cardiorespiratory fitness is an important therapeutic outcome in cardiac rehabilitation. The ability of cardiac rehabilitation to reduce mortality and morbidity has been evidenced through several meta-analyses. Whether cardiac rehabilitation can increase cardiorespiratory fitness and which factors may influence such gains are less well quantified.Methods: We performed detailed literature searches of electronic databases and manually searched papers concerning changes in cardiorespiratory fitness in cardiac rehabilitation patients. We performed random-effects meta-analysis of mean improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness and subgroup analyses to determine potential sources of heterogeneity.Results: Data from 31 studies produced 48 groups (n=3827) with a mean improvement of 1.55 (95% CI 1.21-1.89) METs, (p
